How do I create a service template?

Steps

From the Service Management view, select Service Templates from the drop-down list and click + Service template.

The Create a service template form opens.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Template Name	Specifies the name of the template
Description	Describes the template
Service Intent Type	Specifies the service intent type to associate with the template
Intent Version	Specifies which version of the selected service intent type to associate with the template
State	Specifies the state of the template, Released or Draft
Config Form	Specifies the interface to be used with the template

Enable the Accelerated Provisioning parameter, as required.

Note: When the Accelerated Provisioning parameter is enabled, service management will skip life cycle state planning across all of the applicable operations. If the operator sends a service provisioning request to planning, it will be rejected with a 409 conflict. No auditing will be done during the initial association of the service to the template. Once the service becomes intent aware, any attempt to update the service will trigger an audit.

If required, click + Add in the Assign workflows panel to add workflows to the service template.

The Add Workflows form opens.

Configure the parameters, as required:

Parameter	Description
Workflow Name	Specifies the workflow to be executed
Service Life Cycle State	Specifies the life cycle state of the service that will trigger workflow execution
Service Life Cycle Case	Specifies the case, Success or Fail, relative to the life cycle state that will trigger workflow execution
Blocking	Specifies whether the unsuccessful execution of the workflow will prevent service life cycle state changes
Workflow Execution Timeout (seconds)	Specifies the length of time, in seconds, that unsuccessful execution of the workflow will prevent service life cycle state changes

Click + Add.

The Add Workflows form closes and the workflow is added to the service template.

If required, select a Default Service Category in the Bulk Association panel to specify a service type to which this service template can be applied in bulk.

Click Create.

The service template is created.
